Matt Jergensen 
Posted in Ray Lewis has made plenty of big plays in his career and he added another to his highlight reel when the team needed it most. With San Diego driving for the winning touchdown on a 4th and 2 he slid past the center and met Darren Sproles head on to cause a 5 yard loss [...]

Gore Electric in 23-10 Win Over Seattle
San Francisco running back Frank Gore silenced anyone doubting his running ability this week as he charged the field for a stifling 207 yards on just 16 carries for two touchdowns as the 49ers defeated divisional foe Seattle. Coming off a poor performance last week in which Gore ran for a mere 30 yards off [...]
Bears Rally to Stun Steelers 17-14 in Rainy Chicago
They started like a house of fire, but by the end of the night, folded like a deck of cards. Yes, even the champion Steelers can have “one of those days,” and even one of the best clutch kickers in the business, Jeff Reed, can as well. Sunday was just that day, and in the [...]
Owens, Defense Help Bills Trample Buccaneers 33-20
There used to be a time that you could rely on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ defense to be this all-consuming, blitzing machine. And yet after two games under current head coach Raheem Morris, you’re seeing quite the opposite, as evidenced by allowing 332 or more yards for the last seven games; this year alone, this [...]

Four Reasons for the Packers Awful Setback to the Bengals
1. Offensive Line gives up six sacks, five by Odom…to expound on this, without Greg Jennings, the Packers passing attack was anemic. Ryan Grant, 14 carries for 46 yards and a lost fumble. Grade for O-Line: F 2. Turning Cedric Benson into an All-pro: 29 carries for 141 yards. We need the added depth of [...]
Faclons Turn Away Panthers 28-20 as Ryan Shines in NFC South Battle
Jake Delhomme rebounded nicely after his struggles in week one, but the Panthers fell just short in Atlanta. Delhomme threw for over 300 yards, and had a touchdown pass, but most importantly, did not turn the ball over, with the exception being an interception on fourth and long late in the game. Part of the [...]
Warner Nearly Perfect, Cardinals Tame Jaguars 31-17
I think there was this premonition that Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner would do something special as his team ventured to face the Jacksonville Jaguars. What the definition of “special” will obviously be water-cooler discussion, but nonetheless, Warner rebounded from his last start as he broke a NFL record for pass completion percentage (92.3%), leading [...]
